Hi Kevin:
/dev/shm is a partition involved in swapping (RAM) memory; shm stands
for shared memory.
If you have 2G of RAM, then /dev/shm should have a partition of at
least 2G, and so on.
Regarding using df better. Try using df -h for easy to interpret
output. Try:
$df -h
Also if you put the output under their appropriate columns you'd see
you are not that bad off:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available
Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda10 4820112 4344384 230876 95%
/
/dev/hda13 99150 16088 77942
18% /boot
none 386144 0 386144
0% /dev/shm
You probably should reorganize your HD's partitions more effectively or
you may also just choose to get a larger HD.
Good luck ...

Is the /dev/shm available to me to add some space to the partition
that I have ydl on ? And if not what is /dev/shm
